Temperature and nutrient availability play key roles in controlling the pathways and rates at which energy and materials move through ecosystems. These factors have also changed …
All life is chemical. That fact underpins the developing field of ecological stoichiometry, the study of the balance of chemical elements in ecological interactions. This long-awaited book …

Stoichiometric relations in plants, with emphasis on C: N: P, are reviewed. Both theoretically and empirically it is found for whole plants as well as for different tissues that nitrogen …
Based on the observation that organism‐specific elemental content creates ecologically relevant mismatches such as between plant and animal tissue, it was postulated—and …
Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …
Homeostasis of element composition is one of the central concepts of ecological stoichiometry. In this context, homeostasis is the resistance to change of consumer body …

Stoichiometric homeostasis of heterotrophs is a common, but not always well‐examined premise in ecological stoichiometry. We experimentally evaluated the relationship between …
